Guam’s governor fooled by Russian comedians via phone call
HAGATNA, Guam — Guam’s governor was duped by a pair of Russian comedians who pretended to be officials from Ukraine.
Comedians Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexei Stolyarov posted a YouTube video on Tuesday with a phone call recording of Gov. Eddie Calvo, in which the pranksters asked Calvo about the threat of North Korea’s missiles.
The foolery started in September 2017 when Guam officials received an email requesting a call with Calvo, the Pacific Daily News reported . The senders claimed to be from the office of the Ukraine prime minister.
Guam government spokeswoman Jenna Blas said the email included verifiable information, which led officials to proceed with the phone call.
